From CNET: Firefox’s AI-integrated Smart Window is getting a few new features meant to help people pick up their work right where they left off. The features, announced Tuesday, should make it easier to find answers, organize tabs together and see what you were working on earlier.
To make answers more readily available in Smart Window, Firefox is partnering with the AI company Exa as a search provider. This lets Smart Window pull current information from around the internet and it provides citations for that information. So you shouldn’t need to jump around in tabs looking for citations.
Firefox told CNET in a video call that a critical part of its doing business with Exa is that the company shares a lot of Firefox’s privacy principles, like a zero data retention policy.
“That is a red line for us to make sure [Smart Window is] as private as possible,” Ajit Varma, the head of Firefox, said.
Smart Window can also let you group tabs together so you can keep your research organized. So if you’re researching running shoes, for example, you can create a group that is all shoe-related tabs. Firefox told CNET that if you give Smart Window permission, it will use the content of the webpages to figure out related themes and group webpages accordingly. You can also manually add or remove tabs from groups.
